Chapter 153 Sheng Sheng felt she had fallen in love at first sight again.
Sobbing, she hugged her tightly: "Sister Zijuan, you are so kind, I like you so much... But Sister Zijuan has worked so hard, I want my brother to double your monthly allowance!"
"It's what I should do. Alright, Princess, His Highness is already waiting at the door, let's go quickly."
"Uh-huh."
The little dumpling perked up and skipped outside, where Xie Yunchuan was indeed already waiting.
Are you sleepy?
The little dumpling had dark circles under its eyes, clearly indicating it hadn't slept enough.
Xie Yunchuan frowned slightly, picked up the little dumpling, and walked out.
"Not sleepy, not sleepy."
The little dumpling was afraid that he would find out that she had gone out and fooled around last night, so she forced her eyes wide open and kept saying that she wasn't sleepy.
How could Xie Yunchuan not know that she had gone out last night? The thought of his younger sister always running to Jingyue Pavilion to see Pei Ji made Xie Yunchuan feel inexplicably annoyed, as if his own cabbage was about to be eaten by a pig.
Xie Yunchuan sighed and told himself that the two of them were just children who didn't understand anything, and that this was just a wonderful friendship between children.
"Just bear with it a little longer, I'll sleep once we get to the carriage."
"Uh-huh."
The little dumpling obediently hugged Xie Yunchuan's neck and fell asleep against him without realizing it. When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the carriage.
Ever since experiencing Xie Yunjia's luxurious carriage at Yunshan Farm last time, Shengsheng has been obsessed with having a carriage where she could lie down and sleep.
When Xie Yunchuan found out, he specially ordered someone to find the craftsman who made the carriage for Xie Yunjia and make one for Shengsheng as well.
Unlike Xie Yunjia's luxurious carriage, Sheng Sheng's carriage was entirely pink.
Pink car walls, pink curtains, pink chaise lounge, pink blankets.
Everything that can be pink is pink.
Everything that wasn't pink was painted pink.
It looks like something a pampered young lady would use.
When Sheng Sheng opened her eyes, she was startled, thinking she had arrived in some strange place. She was relieved when she sat up and saw Zi Juan resting against the incense table.
Lifting the curtain, the sky outside was already slightly bright. The convoy had already reached the outskirts of the city. As far as the eye could see, there were endless carriages and horses, with Imperial Guards protecting them on both sides.
"Huh? I remember just a second ago I was hugging my brother and talking to him, how did we end up outside?" Sheng Sheng scratched her head, lowered the curtain, and looked at the pink carriage with a puzzled expression. "Oh my god, my brother said yesterday he had a gift for me, could it be this pink carriage?"
Yesterday, Xie Yunchuan said he would give her a gift today and promised she would like it.
Could it be this carriage?
"Princess, you're awake?"
Zijuan opened her eyes with a yawn and saw her staring incredulously at the roof of the carriage. She looked up as well and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
"Sister Zijuan, is this the gift that brother gave to Shengsheng?"
Upon hearing Sheng Sheng's words, Zi Juan immediately understood the reason for Sheng Sheng's incredulous look; it must be because she was frightened by the car full of pink.
Zijuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Didn't the princess keep saying she wanted a carriage? Although this carriage is a bit plain in color, it's really comfortable! It was specially made by the Second Prince. Look at the four luminous pearls in the corners, they're the four largest ones in our storeroom!"
Only Xie Yunchuan would be willing to use a luminous pearl as a lighting tool for a carriage.
"ah--"
Sheng Sheng closed her eyes and slumped back onto the modified soft couch, finding a comfortable position. She was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Brother is so thoughtful! Sheng Sheng really likes this carriage. But did you misunderstand something? How did you get the idea that Sheng Sheng likes pink?"
Zijuan didn't know either: "Hmm... perhaps His Highness thinks that cute little girls like the princess all like this kind of pink color?"
"Yeah?"
Sheng Sheng pouted, too lazy to think about it anymore. The carriage was really warm, and she hadn't had enough sleep yet, so she soon drifted off to sleep again.
At noon, the convoy stopped by a stream to rest and regroup.
The accompanying imperial chef found a place to cook lunch for the master, and the imperial guards also ate the dry rations they had brought. The aroma even reached the carriage.
Drawn by the aroma, Sheng Sheng sat up before even opening her eyes, her nose twitching as she inhaled the fragrance.
"It smells so good, it smells like chicken stew with mushrooms."
Zijuan wasn't in the carriage. Shengsheng put on her little shoes, casually tidied her messy hair, and eagerly ran towards the scent.
"It smells so good! It smells so good!"
Zijuan had just returned from warming up some milk for the little girl when she saw her princess with her hair all messy and her hands outstretched in front of her, drifting around like a ghost.
Zijuan was startled and quickly stepped forward: "Princess, you're awake, why didn't you wait for me!"
The little dumpling seemed oblivious, stubbornly searching for the chicken stew with mushrooms.
"Princess, Princess, please let me at least comb your hair!"
Zijuan hurriedly chased after him, but considering the hot milk in her hand, she could only catch up with him in small, quick steps.
The little dumpling's eyes lit up as she smelled the increasingly strong aroma. She had been sleeping all this time and hadn't eaten anything; she was starving!
Skillfully maneuvering around the crowd and filtering out several pots that were stewing other dishes, Sheng Sheng finally found her perfect pot.
The large spoon stirs the ingredients in the pot, the hazel mushrooms are stewed until they turn golden brown, and the chicken has a faint sheen.
"Chicken stew with mushrooms!"
The little dumpling's eyes were immediately filled with chicken stew with mushrooms, and he couldn't see anything else. His mind was completely focused on how to get some food.
Thinking this, the little dumpling had already stopped in front of the pot, staring at the chicken stew with mushrooms that was so close at hand, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Because she was so focused on watching, the little dumpling didn't notice that the spatula flipping the pot in the pan had stopped, and the person cooking had stopped talking.
The aroma is irresistible, and the broth is rich and flavorful. I can hardly believe how delicious this broth would be when mixed with rice!
The little dumpling swallowed again, and spoke in a soft, sincere voice: "Hello, how can I have a bite of your chicken stew with mushrooms?"
A laugh came from above.
A girl's gentle, clear voice rang out: "Princess, you are so interesting."
"Um?"
Sheng Sheng looked up and saw a delicate and beautiful face.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her skin was like solidified cream.
A strand of hair fell to one side, and her light purple outfit made her appear even more gentle and charming.
Her doe-like eyes, brimming with tears, stared straight at you with a smile, and in that instant, Sheng Sheng felt as if she had fallen in love at first sight once again.
He stopped looking at the chicken stew with mushrooms, staring blankly at the girl, and exclaimed, "Ah, what a beautiful older sister..."
